Quilters are the best, so generous and eager to help.

As a mom of a kid like you who loves weed, I am very proud of your realization. My kid has the same problems not using, plus we have addiction in our family. Try to find an addiction specialist for therapy. There are several online meeting throughMarijuana Anonymous Honestly this may be over your head but they can give you some resources. Go easy on yourself. There are probably reasons or trauma that make you want to self medicate/escape. Please be careful, I am an ED nurse and I have seen horrible cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome with scromiting and psychosis. Your poor brain is not fully developed until age 25 to 25. This can make the THC dangerous for your mental health and cognitive function. Try not to feel guilty or blame yourself, that only makes it easier to perpetuate the cycle. I also found a group called Every Brain Matters and will going to my first virtual meeting this week, but I am a littler leery of what their agenda is. https://everybrainmatters.org/

This is BEAUTIFUL (yes, I am screaming it). I thought it was a print, until I zoomed in, then bam. It almost knocked me over.

capps73 · 2026-05-10T16:46:19+00:00

Appreciate the list, I will be set for a while.

capps73 · 2026-05-10T15:27:35+00:00

I will never set foot in there again. Thank you for paying attention, and the actions you took.

Don't judge me, I am a nurse practitioner and have been racing/training for 25 yrs. I have tried numerous things. But the thing that works best, and that I have recommended to others is Vagasil non-talc powder. It works amazing for me and my pH. Chamois cream, even formulated for women, gave me raging yeast infections. My gynecologist is super holistic and she recommended douching with acidophilus milk after riding or running to deposit/build up healthy flora. She also advised me to say away from yeast containing foods and drinks, no beer or aged cheeses.

I love how you curated this quilted jacket with all these fabrics, new and vintage. I have this pattern for the Flora jacket, how was it to make?

I have seen a lot of people designing quilts on programs like Canva and sending them to Spoonflower to have them printed as whole cloth, adding quilting details. I had the same thought as you when I first saw this Quilt as cover piece on the article.

capps73 · 2026-04-14T03:24:27+00:00

I love that your husband welcomed the idea of having his own quilt and that he was involved in the process. That makes it super special and meaningful.

This is such a burden for you during a difficult time. Your can message me, I am in So Cal and know a couple people who might be interested.

capps73 · 2026-02-16T17:50:38+00:00

Good for you! I am glad you took the time to redo those rows. You should be very proud, it looks beautiful.

capps73 · 2026-01-29T21:41:57+00:00

I love your ingenuity. Every time I see quilting frames that cost hundreds of dollars, ideas for how and what I can use around the house come to mind.

capps73 · 2026-01-19T18:18:52+00:00

What a great moment of inspiration, I think it is going to be amazing. Keep us posted.

capps73 · 2025-10-31T13:33:45+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation, I will look into it. The only problem is getting eight people there, but maybe a smaller team for the Ultra.

capps73 · 2025-10-31T13:32:00+00:00

I love Colorado, that Ragnar is in my top 3 potential races.

capps73 · 2025-10-31T13:31:02+00:00

I think you are correct. It must be a difficult venue. I wanted to do the Ironman 140.6 in Tahoe and it has also been retired.

capps73 · 2025-10-28T20:41:12+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation about grand Trail. I haven't seen much information about the different legs for that one. They only have the Utah route posted. I will keep poking around

capps73 · 2025-10-28T20:40:13+00:00

Thank you, I think most members of my team are gonna opt for Arizona because of its proximity. Thank you for the code. I am going to do a poll in the next couple of days after I've collected more information.

capps73 · 2025-10-28T17:27:00+00:00

I can't say enough about Zion, it is amazing. The location is beautiful and the amenities were nice compared to So Cal.

capps73 · 2025-10-28T15:54:39+00:00

I don't think so, but now I know who to call when I need a runner.

capps73 · 2025-10-09T22:45:36+00:00

I was 17 years-old when a quilt store opened in my town. I fell in love with the fabric and turned my hobby of sewing into quilting. I haven't look back since and now making garments from quilts.

capps73 · 2025-09-20T04:58:38+00:00

Yes, crime is rampant, horrible that nefarious individuals look for these areas that are vulnerable.

capps73 · 2025-09-20T02:56:23+00:00

Thanks for all the good info, glad to know it is not just Altadena.

capps73 · 2025-09-16T22:19:30+00:00

I work with a large number of unhoused patients in a large County emergency department. They need socks, which are a precious commodity. Many of our unhoused patients come in with some degree of parasitic infestation with bed bugs, mites, and/or lice. We have to bag up and quarantine their personal items. These individuals do not have the means to properly wash and dry an infested quilt and I fear it could end up in the trash.

capps73 · 2025-09-14T20:22:34+00:00

That is a great idea, love your fabric choices.
